Trinity Rising (THE WILD HUNT, #2)

by Elspeth Cooper

The future holds nothing but blood and death ...

... and Teia fears there is nothing she can do about it. Her clan is riding to war, but her secret, untrained gift of foretelling has shown her they are riding to their doom. If she cannot turn them from their course, her only hope of saving them will be to betray them to their sworn enemies.

Gair is mourning his past ...

... but there is no time to dwell on his grief or hunger for revenge. Pursuing an artefact from the Founding Wars, he travels deep into the hostile southern deserts. As religious tensions erupt into bloody violence around him, he must make an impossible choice: save innocent lives or sacrifice them in the hope that thousands more can be saved later.

And all the while, his grip on his powers is failing.

Takes off from where we left off in book 1 and ramps up the pressure. Gair is mourning his lost love, Teia is trying to deal with her own abilities and her role in the world and Savin is spreading havoc and hatred as well as doing his best to subvert Gair and everything he stands for.

It's an interesting read, very much dependent on book 1 and the cliff-hanger left me gagging for more. Gair is starting to become a character I really care for and want to succeed but I can also see that Teia will have some pivotal moments in this world. And these are just two of the characters in this story, a multi-layered story that lingers.
